Both teams meet with an identical record. The heat are more healthier than we are at this point of the season. With that said, I see the Suns coming home and taking care of business should be an easy victory. I won’t even watch that’s how confident I am that we will beat this suckas. After this win let’s focus on getting our revenge on the Cavs.

Paige simply because she’s an expert at her craft and will continue to improve on her ball handling skills while Grandpa Paul is nearing retirement and won’t be handling any balls once the curtains close. In conclusion it’s pretty close at this point, but Paige gets my approval.

I'm in as well. The pain train hasn't finished passing through our city just yet. There's easily three more losses to come if we're unlucky.

We're only two games out of 10th.

This game is probably going to be ugly. Hopefully, the Suns are going to be competitive.

I think this team just needs a win. One win goes a long way to giving these guys some confidence. They're still 14-5 at home this year, with Book out, at least win the home games, or win most of the home games.

Winning the home games like tonight goes a long way to help this team stay in striking distance of the top 6 seeds in the West.

I've seen every game of a team that featured Shannon Brown and Michael Beasley. This is a piece of cake.

Let's go!

A little special ingredients should help us be more rejuvenated to win.

I agree....and I think CP3 will keep them grounded with is "not too high, not too low" and they know they can even compete with the Pelicans, Nuggets and Memphis without Book, Cam, Crowder and others, and we've had different players step up at times which will only serve us better when the other guys return.

Is this a great game to put 100 on Suns to win 190? :dontknow:

I have a feeling if this game comes down to a last shot again by us, that Jimmy Butler will NOT have an awesome block on Booker.

That's a terrible bet. Any bet for the Suns doing positive things is negative at this point.
